NASEP ’09 is the…
DAY 1… 8 in the morning
Everything was
really quiet.
Everyone was shy.
We were all
tired…but excited.
Getting to Know Each Other
 We introduced
ourselves to each
other (what our
names are, where
we go to school,
what we want to do
in life.)
 Think of it as
“speed dating” in
Movies
9:30 AM
 More professional
staff showed up to
help
 Discussed random
things about
ourselves…
9:31am
 We begin building
 Learn about the components of
the computer and how to
handle them
 “Safety First”
Learning from the best
 Learning how to put
our computer
together from our
instructor, Matt.
Building the computer
 Pretty standard not many
problems with the build
 Just had to muscle in some
pieces.
Lunch
 Lunch was a time
to meet everyone.
 It was nothing like
cafeteria food.
 “This Ain’t High
School”
After Lunch
 Finished building
the last of the
computers
 Had some
difficulty reading
the “map” design
that came with it.
 Figured it out in
the end
 Finished the
computer!!!
The Test…
All the parts were in, we
now had to power up our
computers.
Aaren told us to take cover
for his.
… So we did.
The Tests
Success!!
They all
started!
Uploading Software
 We were given
several different
programs to
install
 Very interesting
part of the
process
 Waited for the
screen to say
“finish”
Assembly Required…
 Careful in
handling the
motherboard!
 Caution: not
for children 6
and under, or
those with
unsteady or
greasy
hands…
This is how it’s done
…..skills.
Preparing us for college

engineering, biology, and
visual communications.
Campus Tour

university in 1885
 Student Union-place to eat,
relax, and seek resources to
make college more enjoyable.
 Library-public to the
community & is the only
building on campus that is not
red brick
College Prep
 Scholarships
 Gates
 FAFSA

 What can we do now?
 Get good grades, learn time management, &
achieve in extracurricular clubs & sports.
 Practice is only way to get
better

very hard on their
projects.
